"Eighteen members of the Itchy-O collective performed live at our studios. We've had visits from Itchy-O in the past but never had we attempted to capture one of their live performances. At long last, here is the evidence from that session. Members of the group spoke with Nat Kramer about their upcoming Gothic Theater performance. (Archive from 2/7/15)"

"There's little precedent for such a band. But it operates in the tradition of artists like EZLN, the Zetas, and, as Biafra noted, Crash Worship -- a California-based experimental performance group founded in the mid-'80s. And Itchy-O has found kindred spirits over the years, including one of the few people equal to the challenge of capturing the band in a recording: Denver's Bob Ferbrache, who's worked with 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Warlock Pinchers, Ian Cooke and, yes, Crash Worship. "

It is impossible to ignore Itchy-O. At full capacity, the band comprises 32 members, all dressed in matching costumes, all...

Itchy-O is killing it!

Alternative Tentacles is proud to announce the signing of the amazing Itchy-O Marching Band!

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Itchy-O is a 32-piece percussion-centered electronic marching band. They are a driving drum corp complemented by an arsenal of special surround sound effects units including synthesizers, theremin, vocoders, and several other hand held electronic devices, the IOMB completely engulfs and immerses an audience from every angle in an electric bog of music, ephemera and spectacle.

They wage an ongoing war on predictable mediocrity with their guerrilla-style performances which feature an artfully hazardous Chinese lion, sensuous dancing twin apparitions, fog, strobes, sequins, sweat and fury.

They are incredible, and we are beyond excited to be releasing their upcoming album in September in time for their Fall tour of the U.S.

You can however catch them in Denver, Colorado at the Cannibis Carnival on June 24th at the Cervante Masterpiece Ballroom. Tickets Available Here:http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/572733?utm_medium=bks
